    With the update to Blocksy 2.0.x, the Blocksy Companion Widget Extensions have been converted to Gutenberg blocks (using the legacy-widgets-transformer.php, if I see it correctly). So far everything has worked perfectly.

    Unfortunately, this has led to a change in the way posts are linked in the Advanced Posts/Post Template block. From a technical point of view, it was previously the case that the entire list entry was linked, but now the components such as Dynamic Featured Image, Dynamic Title, etc. can only be linked individually. Is there a way to restore the previous behavior?

    For now I use custom CSS to get the behavior back:

    .ct-widget .wp-block-blocksy-post-template .wp-block-columns {
    	position: relative;
    }
    .ct-widget .wp-block-blocksy-post-template .wp-block-columns a:after {
    	display: block;
    	position: absolute;
    	left: 0;
    	top: 0;
    	width: 100%;
    	height: 100%;
    	content: "";
    }

    If there is no way to get the previous behavior back and you do not plan to provide this feature in the foreseeable future, my request would be to check whether the above CSS can still be improved so that it remains usable for as long as possible in view of changes to the Blocksy Theme.

  • Hi @t33b33

    Sorry for the delayed reply on this one, as you might realise, we are scrambling to get to everyone after the 2.0 update. 🙂

    Regarding the new layout – it is indeed something that will persist over the foreseeable future. We will not be able to bring back the old behaviour, since these new widgets are composed differently under the Gutenberg rules. And if you take a bit of a step back, you will notice that these are more flexible in the long run.

    I think the CSS that you’re using should work nicely from now on. We do not plan any other major changes to the posts widget. We will only expand upon this functionality with new things soon to come. 🙂

    Thanks.
